A rude Awakening..

Mikkusu suddenly snapped awake, his senses flaring. Something was wrong here...Yet he wasn't sure what. His eyes darted around, trying to locate the reason why he was so worked up. But, he saw nothing... and something was wrong ... He knew it. His senses told him. And they never lied. Something was coming. He breathed in quickly for a moment, his heart beating much faster then it was supposed to as he tried to think. Okay, whatever was coming was still far away... Wouldn't be much longer until it showed up though. Yet, he had time to kill. And so what was the most logical thing to do while waiting for a battle? You guessed it. Take a walk. He stood up, and shook his head slightly, before heading off into the woods, wondering if he could find a small clearing with water. Besides being scarred like hell, and worried about what the future would bring, he was dehydrated, and that defiantly wouldn't be good if he was thirsty while he fought. It would tire him out to easily. And he didn't want that.

About 7 minutes later, the lucky elf reached a small clearing with a small stream. Mikkusu quickly hurried over, and bent over it, his mouth sticky with dryness. But before he took a drink, he paused, to look at himself in the water. He didn't make half a bad dog after all. A bit patched up, but, he was cute! His tongue floppily fell out at that in glee. Kami, he had used this dog form before, but only when he was hungry and decided to beg for food. Never in a situation like this. But what better way to approach it... Besides as a dog. He wouldn't be suspected, wouldn't be punished, wouldn't be tracked down. And even if they did discover that he in fact, was their 'beloved Furokuu' he'd be long gone with the shards already turned in. Humans were so stupid that way... Except for that half- demon. He'd half to watch out for him. That creature—What had the girl called him? Inuyasha? Well... This, 'Inuyasha' was smart. 'Inuyasha' had smelt the difference in him. And Mikkusu's magic had prevented anyone from ever doing this. He frowned. This was defiantly an odd case.

Mikkusu sat, after having drunk as much water as he had wanted, and thought. He wanted to turn into his elf-self; he could fight better in it. He was taller then a normal elf, the size of a regular human male. He had never really stopped to think about this, but rather appreciated it, the defect in height giving him a much wider range for fighting styles. He was also much more handsome then a normal elf as well. This fact, however, he never really dwelt on. He sighed. His senses were getting thicker, the... Whatever now closer. He KNEW he couldn't turn into his elf-self though... It would draw more attention to him, the... thing would be able to detect him, and he would throw off his disguise... Then he could never get the shards. What a dilemma. After moments more of thinking, he rested on one idea. He could wake the others... They weren't bad fighters, so they could probably defeat this... whatever. Yea... That sounded good. He smiled, his tongue once again hanging floppily out. He would go back and wait, then bark when that stupid... something came. He took in a breath, then began to head back towards the campsite, his idea stuck in mind. Yet, being so far away, he didn't hear the shrill scream from the 15 year-old school girl that rung out at that instant. The something had reached the camp.
Sorry for the REALLY small chapter... I just haven't felt like writing a lot X.X;;
